Mumbai’s film scene just got a fresh perspective from director Ravi Udayawar, whose latest release ‘Do Diwane Sheher Mein’ starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur has captivated audiences with its unique visual storytelling. In an exclusive chat, Udayawar revealed his artistic soul, likening filmmaking to painting on a vast canvas.
‘I see myself as an artist,’ Udayawar shared passionately. ‘Every film is a new canvas, demanding its own palette and texture.’ Collaborating closely with writer Abhiruchi Chand, he infused the movie with emotional highs and lows that naturally align once characters take shape.
At its core, the film explores embracing inner flaws and presenting one’s true self. ‘In today’s filtered world, we hide our imperfections,’ Udayawar explained. ‘But the moment you own them, real connections spark. Fear fades, and life simplifies.’ This philosophy shines through the film’s visuals, mirroring characters’ journeys.
Udayawar meticulously designed the characters’ wardrobes and color evolution. ‘They start with dull, mismatched tones, reflecting inner turmoil,’ he noted. ‘As they discover their true selves, vibrant hues emerge, blooming beautifully in love.’ This chromatic narrative adds poetic depth to the romance.
Mumbai itself emerges as a romantic protagonist, its soft underbelly enhancing the love story. ‘The city breathes life into the narrative,’ Udayawar affirmed. ‘Do Diwane Sheher Mein’ masterfully weaves love, self-acceptance, and urban charm into a mesmerizing tapestry, proving Udayawar’s painterly vision resonates on screen.
